There’s something slightly off with this. Not cork, maybe Brett? A certain tiger to the nose and Adour hard not toward the end of the mid palate. Far from enough to make this unsinkable but I suspect not a fully correct bottle. That aside very dark, brooding fruit. Some sour cherry and iron, bitter dark chocolate. Maybe the wine’s like that... hard to tell

Dark tawny color, mostly opaque. Bright bing cherry nose right away. Sappy and exotic. Also notes of sweet raspberries, dark moist earth, spice and a little menthol. Angular, huge in the mouth, has a sweetness yet very complex. Needed 5 hrs of air to really open up. Just starting to show secondary characteristics. Long life in front of it.

Very generous wine, charred oak came through quite pronounced however. a beautiful and rich wine with a very 1990 feel. I am fond of the 93 over the 90. The Griotte is totally killer
